Modelling the trends of the healthcare funding in the EU countries

Healthcare is one of the most important sectors of the public economy in the EU countries. An important task in the analysis and prediction of the values for healthcare funding is the development and application of quantitative models based...

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON EUROPEAN AND TURKEY AIR TRAFFIC NETWORKS

Covid-19, which was defined as a result of research conducted in a group of patients developing respiratory symptoms in late December 2019 in Wuhan province of China, spread to other countries in a very short time by infecting from people t...

Vape Smoking: Prevalence and Perception among Damnhour University Students

Background: E-cigarette or vape smoking is becoming a worldwide concern, yet vapinginformation is not widespread among Middle Eastern university students. The paper offers the pattern ofvape smoking in Damnhour University, Egypt, which uses...

Increased remission with fewer corticosteroids and more biologics in rheumatoid arthritis at 7-year follow-up in real-life conditions

Abstract Remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an important therapeutic target that is not easy to achieve in real-life conditions. Some prognostic factors have been identified but the literature is variable. The objectives of this stud...

Prevalence, predictors and pregnancy outcomes of unprescribed and herbal medicine use in Ibadan, Nigeria

Abstract Background Unprescribed and herbal medicines use among pregnant women is a public health concern in low and middle-income countries because of the potential teratogenic effects, insufficient safety and weak drug regulatory systems....

Transcriptome and DNA Methylome Analysis in a Mouse Model of Diet-Induced Obesity Predicts Increased Risk of Colorectal Cancer

Colorectal cancer (CRC) tends to occur at older age; however, CRC incidence rates have been rising sharply among young age groups. The increasing prevalence of obesity is recognized as a major risk, yet the mechanistic underpinnings remain ...

Hypoxia-Inducible Expression of Annexin A6 Enhances the Resistance of Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells to EGFR and AR Antagonists

Physiological changes such as hypoxia in the tumor microenvironment (TME) endow cancer cells with malignant properties, leading to tumor recurrence and rapid progression. Here, we assessed the effect of hypoxia (1% Oxygen) on the tumor supp...

Variation in TMEM106B in chronic traumatic encephalopathy

Abstract The genetic basis of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is poorly understood. Variation in transmembrane protein 106B (TMEM106B) has been associated with enhanced neuroinflammation during aging and with TDP-43-related neurodege...

Cofilin-1, LIMK1 and SSH1 are differentially expressed in locally advanced colorectal cancer and according to consensus molecular subtypes

Abstract Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is among the deadliest cancers, wherein early dissemination of tumor cells, and consequently, metastasis formation, are the main causes of mortality and poor prognosis. Cofilin-1 (CFL-1) and its m...

UTRme: A Scoring-Based Tool to Annotate Untranslated Regions in Trypanosomatid Genomes

Most signals involved in post-transcriptional regulatory networks are located in the untranslated regions (UTRs) of the mRNAs. Therefore, to deepen our understanding of gene expression regulation, delimitation of these regions with high acc...

Efficacious role of silica nanoparticles in improving growth and yield of wheat under drought stress through stress-gene upregulation

Climate change is now evident and severe water shortage due to unpredictable raining season along with extended summers is expected to hamper crop production across the globe. Application of nanoparticle based formulations is one of the mos...

Factors predicting active treatment free-survival and initial experience with mpMRI as a selection tool in patient undergoing active surveillance: 10-year follow-up of SIUrO PRIAS-ITA working group

Small Object Detection Algorithm Based on Improved YOLOv8 for Remote Sensing

Due to the limitations of small targets in remote sensing images, such as background noise, poor information, and so on, the results of commonly used detection algorithms in small target detection is not satisfactory. To improve the accurac...

Research on Personalized Recommendation Algorithm Integrating Cross-Grained Sentiment and Rating Interaction Features

To investigate the impact of cross-grained sentiments on user feature representation and address the issue of data sparsity, this paper proposes a Personalized Recommendation Algorithm Integrating Cross-Grained Sentiment and Rating Interact...

Reliability Model Based Dynamic Multi-Level Trust Analysis

Trust assessment is of great significance to related issues such as privacy protection and rumor transmission in online social networks. At present, there are mainly two types of trust models: discrete type and continuous, type. Little work...

Microstructure-based variational deep material networks for robust uncertainty quantification in materials digital twins

Abstract Aleatoric uncertainties – irremovable variability in microstructure morphology, constituent behavior, and processing conditions – pose a major challenge to developing uncertainty-robust digital twins. We introduce the Variational D...

Proposing New Data Whitening Method through Application of LSTM Method for Fault Condition Prediction in Bearing Data

In the context of big data, data preprocessing, especially data whitening, plays a pivotal role in improving the effectiveness of AI models. While traditional whitening methods suffer from severe computational bottlenecks, arising from the ...

The JWST Resolved Stellar Populations Early Release Science Program. VIII. The Spatially Resolved Star Formation History of WLM

Radial stellar population gradients within dwarf galaxies provide a promising avenue for disentangling the drivers of galaxy evolution, including environment. Within the Local Volume, radial stellar age gradient slopes correlate with intera...
